Wendish Town[1] is a town in the Riverlands, the region controlled by House Tully of Riverrun. It is located north of Riverrun, near the Blue Fork of the Trident and south of Seagard.
In the books[]
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Wendish Town is sacked at the outset of the War of the Five Kings. Lannister raiders, led by the Mountain, slip across the border and attack the town. The inhabitants retreat to the holdfast, but the raiders burn it. As the townsfolk flee, they are shot down with arrows.
Ser Raymun Darry tells of the attack to Eddard Stark; Eddard sends Lord Beric Dondarrion to bring the Mountain to justice.
The town is noted as the home of the popular song On a Misty Morn, one of the songs in the repertoire of the bard Marillion.
